Is there a way to measure hose and AN fittings to determine what size they are? I bought some hose this weekend and it was supposed to be 10AN but seems a little small. Just wondering.

 

not again

do you own a caliper? or a tape measure?

 

this page has a listing of inner and outer diameters for different size AN hose.

to find out the size line you use with a -AN fitting is simple. just put the an size over 16. example. if you have 3AN you would need 3/16th line. if you have 4AN you would use 4/16(1/4) line. and so on and so fourth. there is an industrial company out here where i get all my lines. thats were i found out abou the numbers

 

Thanks for the link and the help.

And yes Dave I have a tape measure but with out knowing how they figure out 8an and 10an measuring it would be of no help.
